➽ Talia Hibbert always writes the best steamy, swoonworthy romances! The Roommate Risk is definitely on the angsty side, as it follows best friends Rahul and Jasmine who have been pining for each other for years. Jasmine is a cynical, sassy young woman who is struggling with childhood trauma and abandonment, which causes her to avoid emotional vulnerability. Rahul has been whipped for Jasmine for years, but he knows her trust issues all too well and is afraid to ruin their long-standing friendship. When both of them have to become roommates, sexual tension runs high and they have to decide if they want to risk it all!

Positives — I really liked Talia Hubert’s writing and the spicy scenes were giving.
Negatives — I don’t particularly like either one of the characters.
Rahul was… fine. He’s nice, but honestly a little pathetic and I think he let Jasmine walk all over him way too much. Also so much of the pressure he puts on himself as the “man of the family” felt dated and gross to me. Jasmine was a mess and left me feeling frustrated. Both character flaws are acknowledged and worked on but I didn’t buy the character development.
Neither are the worst or anything but I was never rooting for them.

This easily loses half a star for putting the epilogue under what is essentially a spam paywall. You have to provide and verify your email, and check a box to agree to receive “marketing emails.” Such crap.
